WILLIAM FRIEDMAN, OF NEW YORK, N Y., ABBIGNOR TO JOHN W. ARNOLD, DAN H. ARNOLD, ADELAIDE F. ARNOLD, AND MILDRED O. ARNOLD, COPARTNERS DO- ING BUSINESS A813. R. ARNOLD COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

p I I 'ronn'r Application filed November York city, N. Y., have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Toilet Packets; and I do here y declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide a compact, inexpensive toilet packet of handy size and shape,.convenient to use, sanitary, and of continued utility for a considerable time, and in which are included toilet accessory units having toilet preparation thereon and which have to be removed from the article or packet for use and be thrown away after use, such packet comprising a strip or strips madeup of such units which are separable from the strip by tearing individually therefrom; to provide alsof-where desired a covered packet of this character containing toilet accessory units of different kinds all equally accessible on opening the cover to secure simplicity of construction, economy of manufacture, increased utility and desirability of the article, and to obtain other advantages and results as may be brought out in the following de scription.

Referrin to the accompanying drawing inwhich like numerals of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a packet embodying my invention in open position for disclosing all of the component parts thereof; H

Fi res 2 and 3- are side or edge views showing theprotective covering in different positions; and

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a slightly modified construction of packet.

In the specific embodiment of the invention illustrated in said drawing, and particularly in Figures 1-3, the reference numer al 1 indicates the protective coverin which may be made of a strip of cardboar or the like which is preferably, transversely doubled at two separate places, as at 2 and 3, so as:

to provide three cover sections 4, 5 and 6. For convenience, these sections will "be referred to as front cover 4, back cover 5 and loose or insert end 6. The several parts inracxn'r.

a, 1925. Serial No. 66,933.

forming part of a subdivided strip of cardboard and each of which is provided on its outer end with a toilet accessory tip 9, of cosmetic or other toilet preparation, sufficient for a single or individual use so that each time one of the sub-strips is torn out and one of the tips used the sub-strip can "devices 8 which are preferably sub-strips and will be thrown away and the next time cosmetic is desired, another sub-strip will be used until they are all gone. Within the covering and secured thereto is preferably included also a strip of paper orthe like 10 having sub-strips on each of which 1s carried a sufficient amount of powder for individual use. These individual strips or powder sticks will also be torn out for use and each thrown away after it has been used. Neither the term sub-divided ap lied to the stri of unitary devices 8 nor t e term sub-strip applied to the said devices andto the individual powder sticks implies that ad.- jacent strips must necessarilyb'e in contact and not spaced apart. Within the coverin is also a pad 11 providinga paper of suitale texture for wiping purposes, as for spreading or removing the cosmetics or for such other purposes as the user may find desir able. This paper may likewise .be impregnated with powder, perfume or other material which .will add to its utility'or desirability. The paper comprising this pad likewise will provide advertising space and also space for making notes or for 'writingupon I .as best meets the needs or demands of the user.

- 'In order to make the article complete as a make-up kit, a reflecting surface is providedin the packet. As shown in Figure 1, this reflecting surface 12 is carried as the end leaf of the the pad an the powder sticks. Theexact arrangement of the. several parts within the packet may be varied, and in Figure 4 1 ave shown a reflecting surface 13 on the ad, that is, between the back of inside of the back cover 14 and insert end 15. In this figure, I also have show the front end 16 of the covering as cut adjacent the staple l7 and have shown the powder sticks 18 formin the to la er, cosmetic sticks 19 positione immediate y thereunder and a pad 20 beneath the cosmetics and between said cosmetics and the 'said back cover.

It will be understood that in use the insert end 6 of the covering may be drawn out as in Figure 1 and the several indi-. vidual articles contained within the covering maybe used as best fits the desire, needs or whims of the lady, and the individual units which are used are then thrown away andthe insert end returned to its position as shown in Figure 2 between the pad and the front cover. If preferred,.however, the insert end may be introduced between the pad and the strip of powder sticks as shown in Figure 3 so as to provide a pad with its cover 4 and backing of the remaining portions of the covering and contents, the pad then being convenient for reference and properly reinforced for writing notes upon.

Obviously detail changes and modifications may 'be made in the construction and use of my improved packet, and I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise units specified there as to size, shape or materials or order in which they are included, except as set forth in the following claims when construed in the light of the prior art.

Having thus described the invention, I claim 1. A unitary article of manufacture comprising a subdivided stri of units bearing toilet-preparation and a apted for individual use by tearing the individual units from individual use by tearing the in ividual units from. the strip, and individual powder carriers attached thereto and adapted to be 'used by tearing them from the article.

2",. A unitary article of manufacture comprising a strlp of cosmetic units adapted for individual use by tearing the individual units from the strip, and individual powder carriers attached thereto and adapted to be used by tearing themfrom the article, and a cover for said arts.

4. A toilet pac et comprising a strip of units'united together and separable by tearing one from the others, said units having toilet accessory tips, whereby each unit may be utilized individually and thrown away afteruse.

5. A toilet packet comprising a strip of cardboard slit inwardly from one edge less than the distance to the opposite edge so as to rovide a plurality of units integral with eac other at their corresponding ends and removabe for use by tearing one from the others thus enabling each unit to be used only once, and a toilet preparation on each unit for individual use.

6. A toilet packet comprising a strip of WILLIAM FRIEDMAN.
